or: Things Sarah Likes This wishlist is not practical. This is just a list of all things, as I think of them, in no particular order, that I want. I'm much happier with gifts I can use, than random trinkets. I'm also happier with one, single, nice gift that a bunch of people chip into together, rather than too many cheap gifts of questionable value. •• Art Books. I like a lot of Fantasy art, obviously. I've seen some nice compilation books of fantasy art, as well (like Spectrum of which I own #12 and #15 and would like others, and these). Some fantasy artists I enjoy, who's books I don't own, include John Howe, and Alan Lee. Picture books/Illustrated books often fall along the lines of Art books, especially in the case of Chris Van Allsburg and Ruth Sanderson (I have "The Enchanted Wood", and keep meaning to order from her website a copy of "Twelve Dancing Princesses" with the signed print of "The Golden Wood" from her fine art prints page). I also enjoy non-fantasy art, like Alphonse Mucha, and Andy Goldsworthy (I own "Stone" and "Wood" and would enjoy copies of other books of his). I also drool over photo/hyper realism. An an example, I just saw the work of Steve Hanks and am in awe. He has an expensive book out. Subscriptions to art (fantasy or non) related magazines would probably be nice. I'm not sure what's out there. • Flight is a series of graphic short story compilations, of which I have 1 and 2, and would enjoy more. • Gift certificates are totally cool (especially if you get it into your head to buy me art supplies; a gift certificate to my own store is even nice). And I could really use some more clothes, and a new pair of shoes or boots, for which I would need to shop around on my own but can't afford. • Last Chance to See the DVD. Oh hey! Soon to be released in the US! • DVDs for movies I like. I'm a particular fan of pretty movies whose DVDs come with commentary and behind-the-scenes stuff (think Lord of the Rings Extended Edition). Coraline's 2-disc set comes to mind, as an exampe of one I don't have yet. (I would have bought Stardust a while ago but I'm waiting to see if a version with behind-the-scenes will be released) The Guild seasons 1 and 2. • Knee high socks. The kind made of normal sock material (as opposed to tights material), • CDs for bands I enjoy, like Portishead, and good Celtic music. • Books like The Perry Bible Fellowship and Cake Wrecks. I also like Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and detective novels (specifically Robert B Parker), but you may want to conspire with someone who can double check my collection and see if I have it yet. • A subscription to Audible. Right now I'm on their Platinum Monthly. If you'd like to buy me some audio books either in CD or mp3 format, too, that's awesome. (I'm sure you can figure out something appropriate: think fantasy/sci-fi) • Cute stuffed animals (especially if you can find any of the ones below). I like cats. And dragons. And cute things. And geeky things like a Farscape DRD.
